8.12.2 IncrementalParser Objects
            
</h2>

<p>
Instances of <tt class="class">IncrementalParser</tt> offer the following additional
methods:

<p>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-1948' xml:id='l2h-1948' class="method">feed</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var>data</var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
  Process a chunk of <var>data</var>.
</dl>

<p>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-1949' xml:id='l2h-1949' class="method">close</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
  Assume the end of the document. That will check well-formedness
  conditions that can be checked only at the end, invoke handlers, and
  may clean up resources allocated during parsing.
</dl>

<p>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><tt id='l2h-1950' xml:id='l2h-1950' class="method">reset</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
  This method is called after close has been called to reset the
  parser so that it is ready to parse new documents. The results of
  calling parse or feed after close without calling reset are
  undefined.
</dl>
